NOTES TO THE INTRODUCTION

1. _The Comedies of Terence: Echard's Translations Edited with a
Foreword by Robert Graves_ (London, 1963), pp. viii-ix. Graves
(p. ix) says that Echard's translation of Terence was made in
1689, when he was only nineteen. I have been unable to find any
evidence in support of this statement.

2. No copy of the _Duke of Savoy's Dominions_ appears to be
extant. It is not recorded in Wing, but appears in _The Term
Catalogues, 1688-1709_ . . ., ed. Edward Arber (1903-1906), II,
380. This must have been much smaller than Echard's other
publications in this year: it cost only 3d. against the first
two's 1s. 6d.

3. _A General Ecclesiastical History_ . . . . (London, 1702),
sig. b1.

4. _The Letters of Joseph Addison_, ed. Walter Graham (Oxford,
1941), p. 504.

5. Recently republished with an introduction by Peter Ure as No.
XIV (1958) in the University of Liverpool Reprints.

6. "Dryden, Tonson, and Subscriptions for the 1697 _Virgil_,"
_PBSA_, LVII (1963), 147-48. Raymond Havens makes a rather
different emphasis in his "Changing Taste in the Eighteenth
Century," _PMLA_, XLIV (1929), 501-18.

7. Items 450 and 595 in _The Library of William Congreve_, ed.
John C. Hodges (New York, 1955). [[Project Gutenberg e-text 27606]]

8. _Les comedies de Plaute_, ed. and trans. Anne Dacier (Paris,
1683). For a further statement of her views, see _Les comedies de
Terence_ (Paris, 1688).

9. In particular, see his discussion of the _liaisons_ which is
derived from Francois Hedelin, Abbe D'Aubignac, _La practique du
theatre_ . . . . (Paris, 1669), pp. 117-19, 315-20. D'Aubignac's
work was translated into English as _The Whole Art of the Stage_
. . . . (1684).

10. _Plautus's Comedies_, sig. a8v; _Terence's Comedies_, p. xiii.
